This is an important @LowyInstitute Analysis by @WarintheFuture. Mick argues that China, Russia, Iran and North Korea have rapidly adapted to changes in military technology, while Western armed forces are lagging behind.

It is an honour to pay tribute to the ANZACs who made the ultimate sacrifice and whose courage and leadership continue to inspire us.

I also pay tribute to the Australians and New Zealanders who volunteered to fight for Ukraine — Ukraine’s ANZACs. We will never forget their service and sacrifice.

BREAKING: Over a hundred thousand people are in the streets of London, demanding an end to the Islamic Republic and standing with the Iranian people.

I personally like the Prime Minister.
Have known him.for years.
But his explanation on the ABC tonight is rubbish.
Our institutions have failed, allowed this degree of antisemetic behaviour to grow unabated.
Words mean nothing.
Where is the action.
Who leads?

Six months ago I wrote a viral thread, arguing that NATO has 2-3 years to prepare for Russia challenging NATO Art 5.

I wanted to revisit the topic for a while. In light of @JDVance1's pick as VP, today seems as good as any.

TLDR: panic should set in. 1/15

A highly implausible scenario - detaching a ship’s helicopter to go & observe a PLA naval exercise. Absolutely no benefit to Aus, and would be a significant change in Aus’ policy that has avoided provocation, as evidenced by Aus policy of not undertaking FONOPs.

Marichka Paplauskaite is a graduate student at the Kyiv School of Economics studying memory studies. Yesterday, she was at the train station in Kherson when the Russians shelled it with ballistic missiles. This is her story:

It was very scary. 1/

Unnecessary, unsafe and provocative - the rhetoric may have changed with the PM’s visit to Beijing but China’s continuous policy of intimidation hasn’t

@WarintheFuture @AlboMP @ZelenskyyUa 30 extra Bushmasters for a military at war. Leaving peacetime Australia with only 900 & a live production line making 180 more - for us, not Ukraine. I can’t cheer this parsimony.

[Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський @ZelenskyyUa]

500 days of the full-scale war.

Snake Island. The free island of free Ukraine.

I am grateful to everyone who fought here against the occupiers. We commemorated the heroes who gave their lives in this battle – one of the most important during the full-scale war.

Glory to everyone who fights for security in our Black Sea!
Honor!

A fine op-ed from @shmigel on how a risk avoidance culture & excellence at process of Australian politicians & bureaucrats is hurting the war effort in #Ukraine. A lack of courage in #Canberra undermines the courage of the Ukrainian people.

[Anne Ruston @Anne_Ruston]

Pleased to see the Coalition’s initiative coming into fruition. But we call on the @AlboMP Govt to commit to our full package. We committed a record $58 million under the National Action Plan for Endometriosis to improve diagnosis and primary care support for women with endo.

[Senator Sarah Henderson @SenSHenderson]

On 1 April, Aston residents can send the @AlboMP Labor Govt a very strong message.

Roshena Campbell @LiberalAus will fight every single day for the people of Aston who’ve been betrayed by Labor’s broken promises on power prices, mortgages, interest rates, wages and now super.

[Sussan Ley @sussanley]

You don’t get to be a part-time PM. Some tennis matches at the Australian Open lasted longer than @AlboMP’s visit to Alice Springs. The people of Alice Springs need national leadership and they aren’t getting it from this PM – three days at the tennis but just 4 hours in Alice.
